A civilization is a ''highly organized society with complex institution and attitudes that link a large number of people toghther'' thus our modern societties are well organized with complex system of the police, the army the civil service agriculture, industry, business,education, means of communication. telecommunication ( telephone,wireless, satellite communication ), the mass media ( radio,TV and the press), medicine, engineering, scince, commerce,defence arrangements and so on. the population big and small villages, towns, cities and countries are living a ''civilized'' life according to the means available to them. culture particularly is the totality of belives, religious and artistic activities and thoughts in a society. thus, the religious, literary, artistic and philosophical patterns of thought and behaviour determine the cultural refinement of a particular society. some thikers equate civilization and culture and describe both mor or less as ''a condition of human society marked by an advanced stage of development in the arts and sciences and by corresponding social, political and cultural complexity. firstly we cannot disagreedthe facilities and conveniencesof life that are available all around. electricity and now atomic energy have changed the whole pattern of life. our homes and streets are well lighted, and we have changed the darkness of night into brightness of the day. we hav eall sorts of electronic appliences like cell phones, t.v ,computers ,lap tops ,generators, dams, l.c.d"s ,dvd players, head phones ,woofers to provide entertainment and information at home. atomic energy gives us cheap electric power to run factories and ships at ease. so do we have thousands of inventions like the car aeroplane ,the calculator, computer, tractors, tube well engines and all kind of medicines ,surgical instruments that has given us pleasure and comforts that a hundred years ago were only dreams. Secondly, the facilities of pringting and publications have made possible thespread of cultural values. now, in the western countries we can find a commnon kind of culture because of the free exchange of ideas and writings which the pringting press has made possible as much as the mass media. it is only in the backward or less developed countries that we find cultural difference so very prominently. it is so beacause modern education has been kept out of the reach of the common people who have at the same time een kept burdened with outdated, outmoded and outlandish political and economic institutions like feudalism and class dictatorship. as a result, we would find vast difference between the music, architecture, marriage customs and working methods of one undeveloped society and another. so we can mostly find cultural unity in the west giving them a common viewpoint in political and economic matters and chance of working and progressing together. the eastern societies with the expectations of a few, display cultural disunity, disorganization in political and economic matters and few chances of working together. the conclusion that we as a less developed nation, arrive at is that the fruits of madern civilization cannot bring us any lasting good unless we ,in all the developing world ,bring all outdated political and economic institutions to an end. what does tourism mean to a nation of extremly uneducated and backward people like those living in the slums and dirtiness..?? the modern civilization in the advanced west is not an unmixed blessing. the cleverness of the advanced people has gone too far using the scientific and mechanical facilities for the development of weapon of mass destruction. there is the rise of modern imperialism which means control of the natural resources and political and economic policies of the less developed countries by the more developed ones. the developed countries themselves greatly form moral and spirtual values in their zeal to advance materially, mechanically and scientifically. their dependence on the ways of modern civilization, which means speed in wordly progress has made them give up the old precious values of selfless devotion to a life of worship and prayer, love for other human beings and objects of nature. while the contant threat of disease like AIDS and cancer looms large and the danger of nuclear war constantly hangs over the developed world, the developments of modern civilization sometimes appear to be meaningless. surely, if the world wants to enjoy and relish the sewwt fruits of modern civilization ,it will have to create a situation when: (1) all the countries and societies are equally developed ,(2) when science and machinery are used positively and beneficially and third when the old moral spirtual values of all societies are practised freely. (thats all i have to say aout modern civilization)
